Comico,
Don't let all of these nuts throwing scripture at you get you down. You were born gay and there is nothing that is wrong with that. It is nothing to be embarrassed about. You shouldn't feel any shame. If others can't deal with it then that is there problem. You have your own life to lead. My brother is gay also. My parents are religious but ultimately the love for their son trumped any other considerations and now they hate the religious right of the Republican Party - the one that talks about Jesus and forgiveness but that is always spouting hate. In fifty years homosexuality will be completely open in America and gay marriage will be the law of the land.
